WWII German? Artillery Shell

ConnerB123 · Feb 28, 2020

Hey everyone!! Picked up this WWII German Artillery projectile today, I assume the hole drilled in the nose means it is inert? I got it from another collection, looks ground dug. Does anyone else have any info on it?

Without measurements my guess is 75mm AP.
What you see on top is just a ballistic cap make the shell fly better, as you might know from the US 75/76mm AP ammo. This is no sign for being inert! What you see on the bottom is the hole for the fuze. So the fuze is missing. There is still a chance for explosives inside!
